Abstract

This thesis, written in Italian, explores the life of one female poet during the Italian Unification period, Laura Beatrice Oliva-­‐Mancini. Her role within the upper middle-­‐class society of nineteenth century Italy becomes apparent through the investigation of her familial relationships with her father, husband and children. The author examines her role within the nineteenth century salon culture through select poetic works and the later-­‐published diary of Laura’s daughter, Grazia. Laura’s perception of the ideals of the time also become apparent in a close reading of her tragic work Ines which portrays the last days of the Castilian noblewoman Ines de Castro. All these topics combine to depict Laura’s life within the context of nineteenth century Italy.
